73. The Bond Of Twins
KIARA
I didn’t know what to say… Dante’s birth was the catalyst for Liam’s darkness? Goddess, I felt devastated for my brother.
We had come to find Mom and Dad, but only Mom was there. Dad was now the Alpha of the pack again, Mom had filled us in on everything: The curse, the card, Liam, the killer, and the truth about Raven’s past.
Alejandro had called to ask if everything was ok and if he was needed, but I told him we were ok, right now there was nothing more we could do.
"How could you not tell me! Raven lost her mom and she wasn’t allowed to tell me? She… How are we making a change if she’s still being told to keep things on the low?"
I ran my fingers through my hair trying to stay calm, for Mom, I could tell she was distraught. Liam had marked Raven and that triggered Mom’s own trauma of what her biological father had done to her...
Raven… Seeing the state she had been in&he

TWO DAYS LATER RAVEN I had been discharged from the hospital the following day, thanks to Kia and Rayhan’s Kitty. I still remember the look in Kiara’s eyes… The moment she told me that I should have told her what I was going through. The tears… The promises that we really won’t hide anything any longer. Something I knew both of us would honour. I hated seeing her feel like a disappointment when it was my own doing that I hid it all from them, when I had so many chances to tell them. She had spent the night with Liam, I could smell his scent from her when she had come to see me in the morning. I wasn’t able to ask her how he was, I didn’t know what to think. She had spent the day with me, it frustrated me that because of me she was being torn like this, between me and him, but she had nothing but love and concern for me. Her parting words still rang in my head, and despite the fact that I knew she meant them, it still hurt. ‘I w
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 75. For Me
RAVENA week had passed, and I finally decided to brave stepping outside. Everyone was being extra supportive, constantly keeping me company or mind linking me to ask how I'm feeling or what I'm up to but really, I just needed everyone to act normal. I didn’t want this pity. Kiara was the only one who really understood that, when she texted, it was just pictures of the twins or Dante, or talking about general things. I just wanted everything to return to normal, but could they?My emotions were hot and cold, I went from happy to utterly defeated within moments of each other. Sometimes I’d remember flashes of the cottage and him telling me he would wait for me, and then I'd see him ripping through my neck. I kept waking up at night, those bottomless pits of his eyes flashing in my mind, his canines out as he bit me…My last thoughts were always the same in my nightmares. Liam won’t hurt me.I now wrapped my arms around myself as I

RAVENQuickly, I switched routes, heading towards the pack headquarters before I changed my mind.I stopped at the entrance and looked at the guards."I wish to speak to Liam." I said quietly, not missing the way they looked at my mark.My stomach churned and I realised that what someone wore with pride, had become something awful for me, something to be leered and gawked at like a spectacle in a zoo. I moved my hair forward, covering it.They opened the door, allowing me inside. Another guard escorted me through the halls, unlocking the next door and leading me to the cells. My heart thudded when we slowed down."Do you wish to talk from outside miss or inside?"I don’t know…"Outside is fine." I said quietly, my stomach twisting.I can’t do this… I can’t…Breathe…I stopped when I saw him, sitting in one of the cells on the bed. His eyes were closed, his back
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 77. His Sins
RAVENI had ended up asking Taylor if he was free, and the both of us left the pack grounds with him deciding we needed drinks. I actually agreed, I think it would be a nice break away from everything.Now here we are on our… I'm not sure what number bottle, and with plenty more to come. It was too early to find a club, so we had come to a pub, and I know a few of the people here were quite surprised that we were still sane after all that alcohol."…So, I gave Sparks back to him." I finished resting my cheek on my hand."Ah baby girl, he is going to be happy. That’s created with so much love from his sister!" Taylor said, downing another glass.I think we were both done for the day. The sun was setting too... How long have we been here?"Yeah, and then, Nina saw me and told me I had this in control and comforted me… I wonder who she’s lost there." I said sadly."Nina the Omega? That’s weird, she

DAMONRaven’s father was committed, and although I knew the Alpha had set his punishment, I still wanted to tell Liam about it.I'm angry at him. So fucking mad at what he did. But past his split personality, there was that part of him that I knew. I wouldn’t be able to forgive him easily… If ever.I don’t know if I could ever call him a friend again either. Looking back, I think that ended a few years ago. I was maybe just stuck in a fucking illusion that things would work out…It did fucking hurt… but life was shit like that.I entered the cells and unlocking the door, entered his cell.He was sitting there, his eyes closed, his hair that he always had gelled and styled was lying messily over his forehead. His eyes opened and met mine, they looked… broken.I knew he’d feel it, but maybe this is the punch he needs to realise that he can be in fucking control. He needs to take contro

RAVENTwo days had passed since the night of the rejection. I had spent it sitting next to Damon, refusing to leave him, because even if he was smiling, I knew he was hurting. We put a movie on, although I knew neither of us were watching it as we had soon fallen asleep on the sofa.I knew that it would take him time because he had held out hope. Somewhere along the line, I had given up, knowing that it wouldn’t work, but he had held on.I hope somewhere in the future we can look back and smile at this entire situation. Someday, one day.Today was the day of Liam’s trial. It terrified me to know that tonight he’ll be punished. This was the future Alpha of the pack, and although right now it felt like there was no hope, I was confident he would get there one day.As for the curse, it was clear Liam himself had to do something to end it, but what? Even I didn’t know, all we knew was the answer lies within.Moreover, the
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 80. A Punishment
RAVEN Damon raised the whip, I flinched when it struck Liam’s back. He didn’t even move, another followed, each lash made my heart squeeze. For his mistake… It’s for his mistake… I had to tell myself that, my heart thundering as each lash struck him, slicing through his skin and letting blood drip to the ground. Not once did he even flinch, despite his breathing becoming harder. But each lash was biting into me, the pain of watching him face this… Thirty… "Raven…" Uncle El said and I realised I was shaking. My heart was beating far too fast. "Step outside." "No." I said as I saw Taylor coming over. No doubt Uncle El had mind linked him. "I'm staying." I stared at Liam as Damon continued. The emotionless mask on Damon’s face was gone, pain and conflict on his face too as he frowned deeply continuing the punishment. "That’s enough now." I said suddenly, flinching as the silver cut into Liam’s back that was

RAVENIt was the following day, Damon and I had just arrived at the Westwood’s home and were seated in the lounge. I wasn’t sure how to feel knowing Liam was going to be there, I had gotten all emotional when he was in pain, but now I felt a little embarrassed about my outburst. The fact that I had literally shouted at Uncle El… I needed to apologise for that too…I looked at Damon, who was raising his eyebrows questioningly at me."I shouted at the Alpha." I whispered.He raised an eyebrow."You’ve teased and played pranks on him all your life. Are you scared now?" He joked quietly as he stroked his mother’s hair.She was fast asleep on the sofa when we entered, and neither of us wanted to disturb her."I know… but I shouted at him when I knew it wasn’t easy for him." I whispered back."Well gorgeous, it’s too late to regret it." He said.Our eyes met, both of us
